Which storage feature always requires the use of third-party software on ESXi?
A. Hardware Acceleration for NA
S devices
B. VVOL
C. Hardware Acceleration for Block Devices
D. VM Storage Policies
Explanation:
With the hardware acceleration,
ESXi hosts can integrate with NAS devices and use several hardware operations that NAS storage provides. The hardwar
e acceleration uses vSphere APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) to facilitate communications between the hosts and storage devices.
Reference:
A.
“With NAS storage devices, the hardware acceleration integration is implemented through vendor-specific NAS plug-ins. These plug-ins are typically created by vendors and are distributed as VIB packages through a website.”
